Accra, GhanaAbout Jamestown
One of Accra's oldest neighbourhoods, a fishing community around the 17th-century James Fort and Ussher Fort, with a red-and-white lighthouse you can climb for views over the harbour. Its streets are known for murals and for boxing gyms that have produced world champions. Visit with a local guide, and look out for the Chale Wote street-art festival in August.
